28 November 2007 - suse's baby is in the world

hello there, suse's partner sebastian here...

she asked me to let everyone know that it has happened. yesterday; november 28th at 13:54 our boy was delivered, 4.2kg and 53ish cms long, 35cm round the head. suse was at it for a good while, 35hrs at my count, somewhat less officially, and did everything she could (i'll let her tell you all when she gets home) but it turned out he was just too large and was brought into the world by emergency c.s. he has ginger hair and dad's hands and feet, mum's nose and his whole future to work out the rest...

baby and mum are both healthy and happy, suse has been able to feed him and he's done everything a one day old should. i could go on but i have many places to type and am a bit tired myself. best wishes to all and suse will be back to speak for herself in three to six days.

cheers:dance:

WE'RE BAAAAAACK....

Arrived home today - OMG I have never known such pain & pleasure in equal amounts. Story of birth is, true to form, amusing and goes on for way too long. Will write it up properly soon-ish, once we finetune the art of breastfeeding a wriggly four limbed octopus.

Not-So-Little Man has a name - Euan Oscar, and he is currently out like a light looking adorable in his bouncer in the middle of the loungeroom floor, with the MP3 player underneath playing soothing dub (awww, my little boy) and dad passed out on the couch with one foot gently rocking him at any sign of a squawk.

It will be most likely be a different story at midnight when he will turn into demon child and scream his lungs out for most of the night as he has for the previous few nights. We just had cyclone Guba up here, now here comes cyclone Euan...

Thank you everyone for your congratulations and best wishes - it's really nice to be back!

Oh, and I forgot to add:

Thank you to everybody for their encouragement and support through the pregnancy and the lead up to the labour - for keeping me sane, entertained and constantly educated!! I had a wonderful labour (not often that you'll hear that from someone after an emerg c/s but he wasn't coming out any other way) and it was thanks to a wonderful team of supportive midwives and professionals, my amazing partner and everybody here that I had the confidence to keep trying right up until there was no other option.

You guys are all amazing and I thank you for your part in my birth story (full details to come when I have a spare couple of hours...)
